It is the perfect summer day, and the sun is shining.

It's warm enough that the soft breeze is refreshing, not cold.
โ€‹
You feel well enough to get outside for a bit and enjoy the gift.
โ€‹
โ€‹Where are you?

What are you drinking? (Calories don't count on this day, and no one's judging if it's a little too early in the day -- or in the case of coffee, a little too late -- to enjoy your favorite summer drink.)

Who are you with?

This summer, I want more of this. And I want you to enjoy more of this, too.

This is the spirit behind The Summer of Joy.

And whether you choose to join the free email experience or purchase the paid pass, I will do my best to help you have more of the summer you truly want this summer.

Sadly, I can't control the weather, which as a nature photographer and lover, is quite disappointing. As much as I want to, I also can't make all the food in the world magically calorie-free.

But I will do my best to reflect with you and provide you the resources to more easily experience a summer that fits your energy, your season in life, and experience the everyday summer moments to make these next couple of months one filled with meaningful memories to keep you warm through the chilly days of fall, the frigid temperatures of winter, and many more months and years to come.

***And if you'd like to share your answer to the questions above (where you are, who you're with, and what you're drinking on that perfect day), I hope you'll hit reply. Tell me if you recognize that subject line, too. Those who reply will also get a free "sneak peek" to the next thing coming for ALL Summer of Joy participants. :D )

Less Noise. More Life.

Let's focus on more of what matters as we connect with the people who light us up and enjoy the treats that truly feel like "summer."โ€‹

Colorful pages surround a summer scene with a beach blanket , water bottle and sunscreen. The center text says "Summer of Joy. Less Noise. More Life." A jar of fireflies and a blade of grass with a ladybug frame the page.

Hello again! I'm not sure when it happened, but I realized this week that we are nearly to the end of May! It's definitely a reminder of how a summer that sounds endless in June, seems like it was barely the length of a long exhale come August. Every year, we enter the season with a long list of hopes for the months ahead. And then somehow, the days blur together. The weather gets overwhelming. Schedules pile up. Energy runs low. That experience -- one I've faced more than once -- is really...

Read My Substack Blog Visit My Fourthwall Shop Are you awake early today? Me too. It's Sunday, but my dog doesn't know about days of the week. Fortunately, neither do the birds. So at least when I let him out this spring morning just before 7 a.m., I was treated to the dawn chorus. The robins start singing first, but by this time, the cardinals, white-throated sparrows and chickadees had joined in too. If you'd like to learn more about the chorus and to wake gently today, I hope you'll take...

This issue is about tending to what matters and includes a few ideas for reflecting at the start of a new season, enjoying a...
